2. Potato – 1 large, cubed
3. Coconut oil – 3 tbsp
4. Onion – 2.5 cups, thinly sliced
Curry leaves – 1 sprig
5. Ginger-garlic paste – 1.5 tbsp
6. Turmeric powder – 1/2 tsp
Kashmiri chilly powder – 1 tbsp

Method
1. Heat 3 tbsp coconut oil in a large kadai / any heavy-bottomed pan. Add thinly sliced onion, curry leaves, little salt and saute until onion turns golden (takes about 15 minutes). Next add ginger-garlic paste and saute for 2 – 3 minutes until their raw smell disappears. Bring down the heat to low and add turmeric powder, kashmiri chilly powder, coriander powder and garam masala powder. Saute for a couple of minutes until their raw smell disappears (you can sprinkle little water to prevent them from getting burnt). Add tomato cubes and cook until soft.
2. Add in the mutton pieces, salt and mix well. Finally add 1.5 – 2 cups of hot water. Mix well and cook covered for 35 – 40 minutes at medium heat until the mutton pieces are 75 % cooked. Add potato cubes. Mix well and cook at medium-low heat for 10 – 12 minutes until the mutton and potato pieces are soft and done. Sprinkle some chopped cilantro. Serve hot with chapathi / pulao/ appam etc.

I tried this tonight and couldn’t wait to write a review! This was absolutely delicious and tasty👍 I usually make mutton in the pressure cooker as it is quick and easy and don’t want to slave over the stove and wait. This was so easy to make and the spice blend was just right, though I put chili powder as I like my curry spicy. I couldn’t believe how wonderful this came out and can add this to my repertoire. I love your recipes and am grateful for all this deliciousness! Keep posting😀😋
I tried this over the weekend. The best mutton curry I made. Thank you Maya 😀
Hi,
Can you tell me where you buy mutton from? Looks like you are somewhere near Seattle. So am I. Can’t wait to make this.
Thanks!
Hi! Maya,
Just wanted to know how many days in advance can I prepare this dish? Will it keep in the fridge for 2 days?
It will keep in the fridge for 2 days but it tastes best the next day.

Hi! Maya,
Can this be made in a pressure cooker. the last time I tried this recipe, the mutton was not getting cooked n finally had to put it in the cooker. Could it be that I’m not doing something right?
Thanks,Divya
You can pressure cook the mutton for 2 – 3 whistles or until soft and done..
Tried this recipe today and it was finger licking good! Thank you 😊
You’re welcome! Glad you liked it 🙂
